I cannot believe it's already time for another monthly favourites post! This year is going so quickly, it seems like only a few weeks ago that it was Christmas! I wasn't able to post last week because I had three essays due in and the last thing I wanted to do in my free time was write even more! But I'm back now and I'll hopefully have at least one post a week like normal up until I go to America (I can't believe it's only 7 weeks away!!). But anyway, here are my April favourites;

A few weeks ago I ordered another I Heart Makeup Unicorns Heart Rainbow Highlighter after my first one arrived broken and I have since become obsessed! It is so pretty and pigmented, all of the colours are beautiful on their own but when you mix them together they make a gorgeous highlight colour. I was worried that it was going to be a bit in your face but when it's on it's actually quite subtle and just looks lovely. I wore it when I was in Disneyland and will definitely be taking it to Florida with me!

After using the Garnier micellar water for quite a few months now, I decided to try their new Micellar Water face wash and so far I am loving it! I haven't seen any drastic changes in the condition of my skin, however it makes taking off my makeup so much easier! Instead of having to scrub at my face with multiple cotton wool pads every evening, I can just wash my face and it comes off so easily. If you're already a fan of the Garnier micellar water I would definitely give this a go.

My PNY portable charger was an absolute life saver in Disneyland! I got this for my 18th birthday but I haven't used it for a while and I'd forgotten just how useful it was! When fully charged, it can charge your phone fully 2 times, or it can charge 2 phones at the same time. When you're snapchatting and instagramming all of the time, whether in a Disney park or not, your battery can drain so quickly and this is definitely a must have item for me now.

I had had my old phone case for over a year so I decided I needed a change and was drawn in by this gorgeous pastel case from Coconut Lane. Not only does it look really pretty but it fits on my phone really well and is really comfortable to hold. It's a bit thicker than my old case which took some getting used to but now I don't even notice it. (Btw I know a lot of bloggers work with Coconut Lane but I don't, this is just my honest opinion of a cute phone case that I bought).

 Thanks for reading and have a wonderful May!

I've never done a proper monthly favourites post because I don't feel like I try enough new things every month to warrant a whole post for them. However, this month I've been trying quite a few new things that I got for Christmas or in the sales so I thought I would give it a try. I am going to aim to do one every month of 2017, even if there are only 2 things in it sometimes, but we'll see how that goes! So without further ado, here are my January favourites:

I asked my parents to get me a Happiness Planner for Christmas and I'm so glad I did! Not only is it great for planning out my day and writing a quick to do list, it really makes you focus on the good things in your life. I think I'm going to write a whole post about it so I won't go into too much detail, but it has definitely helped me be a more positive person. Mine is in the colour 'rose quartz and serenity' and I think it's absolutely beautiful!

Recently I've been completely obsessed with Makeup Revolution. I had a couple of their products before but I got their Redemption palette in the shade 'Iconic 2' in the January sales and I instantly fell in love! Not only are the colours absolutely gorgeous, with both matte and shimmery shades, it is incredibly pigmented and lasts all day. This is an amazing dupe for the Naked 2 palette and to top it all off, it was only £4!!

This month I've been loving Apple Music. I actually got it last month but I started using it so much more after coming back to uni. I don't have Spotify so I often used to listen to music on YouTube which would drain my phone battery so much so I love having so much music at my fingertips without having to keep my phone unlocked. At the moment i'm loving the Moana soundtrack (yes i'm still obsessed) and Ed Sheeran's new singles. A subscription is £10 a month but if you're a student you can get 50% off with a Unidays account.

One of the other things I bought in the January sales was a Johanna Basford 'Enchanted Forest' colouring calendar. I had one of these last year, and am a big lover of adult colouring books (check out my post about them here) so I knew I would love it. But I can never decide which picture I want to colour next, so I love having a specific picture that I know I need to do that month. Johanna Basford colouring books are my absolute favourite, I love her designs and I like that some of the pictures in the calendar are the same as the Enchanted Forest book, meaning I can colour it in in a completely different way to last time.
